Chinmaya International Foundation is housed at Adi Sankara Nilayam, the birth home of Adi Sankara, at Veliyanad, Ernakulam District, Kerala, India. Ernakulam is also the birth place of our beloved Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayanandaji. CIF was the last project undertaken by Pujya Gurudev during his lifetime.
The year 2016 marks the Birth Centenary Celebration of Pujya Gurudev. On this occasion we invite you to join hands with us to fulfill Gurudev's vision.

The infrastructure at CIF is very limited and the efficient realisation of Pujya Gurudev's vision is possible only through accelerated investments on many fronts.

The proposed enhancements include:

Residential Complex for 400 people

A fully equipped international convention hall for 750 persons

Upgraded Staff Quarters

Additional kitchen and dining facilities

Enhanced communication infrastructure

Well laid out and classified book centre

The estimated project cost is INR 20 crores or approx USD 4 million. Members are invited to donate in units or segments of the facilities.
